Abstract |
| Entrepreneurship is about finding new formulae or ways to create value. You profit if you can create ways to use resources more cheaply and creatively in order to create products and services that offer new value to customers. Many of the great success stories of our times are ones in which ordinary individuals overcame significant odds to create something new and exciting just with commonly available resources. Think of companies like Creative Technologies, Apple, Netscape, Wal-Mart, and CISCO, to name a few. How did successful entrepreneurs create something from little? What can we learn from them? Is it possible to reduce their experiences to a set of principles that we can use? In this talk, I will discuss 10 principles you can follow to ensure that that the probability of success during this creation process remains high while the potential exposure to loss due to failure is kept at affordable levels. The focus of the talk is on the principles of creating something new and of enduring value with very limited resources. |
